If your pet is scratching, licking or losing fur, allergies may be the cause. Our veterinary team can help you understand possible causes and help your pet feel comfortable again.
Allergies in pets often show up through their skin. If you’ve noticed any of the following, it may be time for a vet consultation:
- Constant scratching or chewing
- Red, inflamed or sore skin
- Hair loss or thinning coat
- Recurrent ear infections
- Hot spots or scabbing
- Excessive licking of paws or belly
Early diagnosis can prevent symptoms from becoming chronic and improve long term comfort and skin health.
Seasonal allergens such as pollen, grasses, mould and dust mites can trigger flare-ups, particularly in spring and summer. Pets with sensitivities may suddenly develop symptoms or experience worsening skin irritation during these periods.
Our vets take a thorough, step-by-step approach to identifying and managing skin conditions, including:
- Full skin and coat assessment
- Review of diet, environment and medical history
- Testing where required
- Tailored treatment plans, including medication, diet changes and skincare routines
Skin conditions are frustrating for pets and stressful for owners — but they are treatable with the right care.
